   I'd like everyone's opinion on a photo, I took it with my S22 Ultra in astrophotography mode. Then I ran it through some editing software recommended by a fellow Mastodon traveler, ask me if interested.

   I'm curious which is better and is it ok to edit photos to bring out full potential? Most say for astrophotography you need to, to remove light wash, but I'd like everyone's thoughts.

   First is original, second is same shot cleaned up.

     @That_One_Guy I feel about the same way I felt about it in 2019.

     @That_One_Guy @Mrfunkedude I’m not a night photographer, but my response to this question is always to remember that Ansel Adams heavily “photoshopped” his photos with analog filters and development techniques, and he’s considered one of the greatest landscape photographers of all time. I think the same thing goes for all types of photography—used skillfully, post-processing enhances the quality of a photo.

     @Mrfunkedude @That_One_Guy I came to this same conclusion for similar reasons a couple of years back: https://www.reayjespersen.com/blog-1/2021/01/19/finding-the-path-to-the-sincerity-of-an-art/

     One of Australia's great photographers is Frank Hurley, who was quite happy to glue parts of negatives together to create the photo he wanted.

     In this one for instance the sun light and the battlefield never saw each other in real life.
